History: In 1921, the Jesuit German Province divided into the Northern and Southern German Provinces with the Northern Province Archives retaining the records of the former German Province. Because they had been ejected from Germany, 1872, the Jesuits had relocated first to Buffalo, New York, and then the Netherlands. While based in Buffalo, the Buffalo Mission (Buffalo, New York) of the German Province administered the following missions among Native Americans in the United States:

1884-1907 (transferred to Turin Province, Turin, Italy)	St. Stephen’s Mission and School (Arapaho, Shoshoni), Wind River Reservation, Wyoming
1886-1907 (transferred to Turin Province, Turin, Italy)	St. Francis Mission and School (Brulé Lakota), Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota
1888-1907 (transferred to Turin Province, Turin, Italy)	Holy Rosary Mission and School (Oglala Lakota), Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota
